'The Caretaker' Will Come on Valentine's Day
Filed under: Horror », Independent », Distribution », Home Entertainment »
If you're someone who likes to delight in the perks and romance of Valentine's Day, you've got to plan it. When you don't, you might see a good time fall in your lap, or you might find yourself fighting hordes of couples and end up eating at McDonalds. I remember one year when I went out on an impromptu evening with a guy on that dreaded day. Since we didn't plan it first, we ran around trying to find a place to eat that wasn't booked, and then headed off for the movies, where the only flick that was wasn't sold out Blues Brothers 2000. Even my huge love for Joe Morton couldn't make me love that movie. Ugh.So, if you plan to make cinema a part of your night, you're going to want to plan it. Maybe, instead of a saccharine romcom, you'd like some horror to snuggle up with. If that's the case, you might want to check out The Caretaker, when it gets released this February 14. It's just a little indie film, but it looks quirky; it has some funny bits; and what could be better to watch while eating conversation hearts than a horny Jennifer Tilly hitting on students and serial killers alike, or Judd Nelson being the protective dad?
The Caretaker focuses on a group of teens who want to scare their girlfriends during Homecoming, which just happens to fall on Halloween. To up the chills, they go to an abandoned house in a grapefruit orchard -- yes, grapefruits -- and are stalked/butchered by a real-life urban legend. If this sounds like it might be up your alley, and you aren't in Toronto to get a healthy splatter of blood at the reappearance of Evil Dead: The Musical, The Caretaker might be all you need.
Jennifer Tilly Lusts for Young Boys in Horror-Comedy 'The Caretaker'
Filed under: Comedy », Horror », Casting »
While we've been getting a lot of horror flicks lately, they've taken themselves pretty seriously. If there is anything that I've loved about the horror genre it's the tacky moments in between the jumps and geysers of blood. It's been a while since I've been to some camp-fueled gore. (This is probably why I'm heading to the theater tonight to sit in the splatter zone for a performance of Evil Dead, The Musical, but that's besides the point.) Riffing on Grease, Jackie Linder Olson is saying that "camp is the word" for her upcoming film, The Caretaker, which she wrote and produced while her husband, Bryce Olson directed.Hopefully they wouldn't tease a girl. The movie is about a group of teen boys who want to scare their girlfriends on Halloween. They go out to an abandoned house in a grapefruit orchard and are stalked by an urban legend called The Caretaker. The movie, however, is more than just a night at the creepy house, because Jennifer Tilly and Judd Nelson have notable roles. Nelson is "disarmingly creepy" as an overprotective dad, and Tilly is a teacher who wants to get famous by sleeping with a student. According to the director: "We took a current trend that we found both tragic and disturbing and put it in the forefront of our film. No one could do a better job at this character than the sexy and talented Jennifer Tilly." Is that a compliment? Honey, no one knows deranged, sexually-confused women like you do! Other cast members include: Jonathan Breck, Jennifer Freeman, Diego Torres, Andrew St. John, James Immekus and Kira Verrastro. Hopefully it can live up to the Olson hype.
